The Amazing Story on the Mountain
1. Up the Mountain
Jesus took his three friends, Peter, James, and John, up a high mountain to be alone.
2. Jesus Was Transfigured!
Suddenly, Jesus's appearance changed! His face started to shine as bright as the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. This is how He looks in Heaven!
3. Surprise Visitors
Two famous men from the Bible, Moses and Elijah, appeared and started talking with Jesus.
4. A Voice from the Cloud
While Peter was talking, a bright cloud covered them all. Then, a voice spoke right out of the cloud! It was Jesus' Father, God, speaking.
"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
5. "Don't Be Afraid"
When the disciples heard God's voice, they were very scared! But Jesus came over and touched them gently, saying, "Arise, and be not afraid." When they looked up, everyone was gone. They saw just Jesus.
